We Are A Purpose-Built Generation

Follow on the previous blog on the topic of Salvation, Jesus constantly reminded his disciples (disciple = the discipline one) about the Kingdom. Jesus himself carried the cross to fulfill His mission to free you and me.

Why we need to be freed?

From the secular perspective, we are taught that our finance holds the key to happy life - money will pay off troubles and buy things we desire. In the process of fulfilling our "dream life", we fall into all kinds of miseries and corrupt lifestyle. Jesus came to save us from the fallen world, free us from the bondage of the darkness and put us back into the light.

How can I transform my wretched life to an abundant one?

We always want instant answer and result. Faith and patience are two key ingredients in every victory (Heb 6:12). Faith is the key foundation in our victorious lives and it births Patience in the process (Heb 11:1, 11:6, Rom 10:17, 2 Co 4:16-18).

Only through the renewal of our minds, we uncover the roots of our sins, rebellion and iniquity that hinder our success in life. As faith and hope increase within us, our friends and relatives will notice the change and wonder why.

I have Jesus in my heart, what is the purpose of my life on earth? How can I handle work and ministry work?

Mat 6:19-21 and 16:19 reveals God's views on our dilemma. The marketplace is the ministry, Jesus was the full-time marketplace minister.

Abba Father, we declare our birthrights as the sons and daughters of the Most High God. You have revealed your purpose in us and grant us the daily wisdom to exercise our faith pertaining your kingdom advancement. We are holding the keys of your Throne and our confession of Your words are binding our finance, health, job and family in the heaven by releasing our faith. We thank you for your grace and praise your name forever. In Jesus name. Amen.
